THE VERDICT (INTERNAL QUALITY SCORE):
Grade A (Clinical Standard). This formula aggregates high-altitude adaptogens from the Peruvian Andes with potent vasodilators from the sandstone grasslands of KwaZulu-Natal. The absence of fillers preserves the volatile oils essential for the entourage effect.

SENSORY ANALYSIS:
Upon opening the jar, we observed a micro-fine, hygroscopic dust that clumps slightly, indicating high moisture retention in the Maca hypocotyls. The aroma is heavy and grounding, dominated by malted butterscotch notes from the Maca, undercut by the smell of damp soil.
On the palate, the powder begins with a sweet, nutty profile but quickly transitions to a sharp, resinous astringency characteristic of high-quality Catuaba. You will notice a distinct numbing sensation on the tip of the tongue within 30 seconds—a physical marker of active alkaloids interacting with mucous membranes.
HOW DOES EMOTIONAL CENTER WORK?:
- The Herb: Eriosema kraussianum (Bangalala) sourced from the KwaZulu-Natal grasslands (29.8587° S).
- The Mechanism: Acts as a natural PDE5 Inhibitor. The bioactive pyrano-isoflavones prevent the degradation of cGMP, triggering smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow to reproductive tissue without systemic pressure spikes.
- The Evidence: Research by Ojewole et al. (2006) confirmed the root possesses potent vasorelaxant properties via the nitric oxide pathway.
- The Herb: Lepidium meyenii (Maca) cultivated in the Junín Region (4,000m elevation).
- The Mechanism: Functions as an HPA Axis Modulator. It regulates the hypothalamus and pituitary glands to balance cortisol and estrogen levels.
- The Evidence: A study by Stojanovska et al. (2014) confirmed Maca reduces psychological symptoms and sexual dysfunction in women independent of estrogenic activity.
CRITICAL USAGE:
Dosage: Mix 1/2 tsp into 8oz of juice or a smoothie. The resinous taste pairs best with citrus or berry flavors to mask the bitterness.
Timing: Consume before 2:00 PM. The stimulating effects of Catuaba and Maca can interfere with sleep cycles if taken late in the day.

I must say this one here, just might be my favorite herb! I’m always excited to receive packages, but ones from BTYRH trump all goodies. Let me tell you, I had to jump back and pinch myself when I used Emotional Center as the evening was heightened, senses were increased and what would be once or twice happened 5 to seven times. I felt like I had just been reintroduced to my body and how it was capable of functioning. My husband-friend and I were very pleased! You should definitely get yourself or your spouse some of these babies! There are many benefits.

There is a feeling of calmness when I take this supplement. My hot flashes and profuse sweating are a point of contention. These symptoms have almost disappeared. I can’t wait to see the Yoni benefit.
